![]() Aleya at the STS-132 Tweetup STS-133 is launching this week and twitter is flooded with the #NASATweetup hash tag. About a hundred tweeps are participating in the actual tweetup, while a bunch more are going down just to watch and revel in the nerdiness - and most likely to revel in the buckets of rum at Fish Lips as well.

Today I found yet another AWESOME thing from MooseJaw: The October Contest
They are accepting applications for their Human of Influence program. I couldn't help but think that this is the PERFECT program for me. I exactly meet one of the two requirements (being human). That's half credit right there. After pumping myself up in the mirror and repeating my self-worth mantra, I'd like to make my case for the influence part. Please read my submission below. Comments are welcome, though if they are mean I'll probably cry. This means a lot to me. *Sniffle* Ok, here we go... ![]() I've picked a climb! On July 17th 2011 I will start a 5 day trek into the Wind River Mountain Range to summit the Wyoming high point: Gannett Peak. Almost one year ago I entered the Champion "What's Your Everest?" contest. Their question was, "What would you overcome if you had the means?" While I have lots of issues (we all know this) I chose to address my fear of heights. Climbing can be expensive, and east coast is a bit "low" compared to the mountains you find out west. I'd use the prize money to give myself opportunities to overcome my fear through exposure and training. Through Twitter I heard about an organization called Summit for Someone. #cuemusic It was perfect. I just finished watching the video below, and it moved me to tears. I'm not sure why exactly, but the feeling I got deeply resonated with another experience I had. I'd like to share both and how I think they are connected. The video is nearly 30 minutes long, but in my opinion worth the investment of your time.
